Introduction
Tiziano Fasan is an Italian poker player who has made a name for himself in the high-stakes tournament scene, particularly within the Italian ISOP (Italian Series of Poker) circuit. Known by the nickname "il Marmista" (the Marble Maker), he combines a steady poker presence with a career in supply management and compliance.
2025 ISOP Tournament Highlights
Fasan's standout performances in 2025 came during the ISOP Championships held at Perla Resort. In Event #1 Deep (the Italian Deep Championship), he led the Day 1A field with 702,000 chips after a decisive hand. On a flop of x-7-8, Fasan held 5-4 offsuit and moved all-in against two opponents holding pocket aces and pocket kings. A six on the river completed his straight, eliminating both and catapulting him to the chip lead. The flight saw 195 entries with 68 advancing to Day 2.
Later, during the ISOP 2025 Main Event, Fasan sparked a roar from the crowd with a massive pot. On a board that suggested a flush, an opponent showed the nut flush, but Fasan turned over 7-Q for a full house (sevens full of queens), boosting his stack to 85,000 chips. The hand involved notable players like Andrea Sorrentino, who folded pocket aces on the turn. At the time of the hand, the Main Event had 108 entries with 86 players remaining.
Playing Style
Fasan is described as a solid, steady player. His hand in the Deep event demonstrates a willingness to take calculated risks with drawing hands, while his Main Event play shows patience to let opponents commit before unveiling a monster. He is known for maintaining composure and making precise reads, a style befitting a seasoned tournament grinder.
Personal Life and Career
Beyond poker, Tiziano Fasan has a long career in supply management and compliance, having worked in this field since January 2000 — over 26 years of experience as of 2025. His LinkedIn profile lists his location as the Greater Venice Metropolitan Area, Italy, and his education includes a technical diploma in mechanical engineering. His professional background in management and operations likely complements his analytical approach to poker.
Legacy and Presence
While not a flashy superstar, Fasan has carved a respected place in the Italian poker community. His repeated appearances at ISOP events, combined with his professional discipline, mark him as a dedicated player who values consistency. His nickname "il Marmista" adds a touch of personality, though his personal stories remain largely private. He represents a class of players who succeed through steady performance rather than headline-grabbing wins.
